Its a 320A, done around 120k miles, and has been in a garage since 2000. Bodywork is pretty good, just seemingly needing two rear arches and possibly a sill. Plenty of the electrics dont work, but it hasnt been investigated yet. Unfortunately I cant start working on it until I finish my current project, but its safely tucked away

Any more progress Neil?? any pics of your M42 conversion?

healeyneil · Post by **healeyneil** » Fri Sep 20, 2013 8:25 pm

Must post up some photos. The M42 conversion is virtually completed now. Now for new sills etc, and fitting the E30 Sports seats I got

Engine fitting virtually finished. New servo hose to go, I will need to put the battery in the boot. As you know, the smallest things can take ages. It took me 3 hours to make a satisfactory fitting so the the E21 throttle cable operated correctly.

Over the last week or so I have dropped the back axle and petrol tanks, so that I can start on the ( rather more than anticipated) welding repairs. Biggest surprise was that its had sills done previously, and a few nasty bodges too. Amazing what underseal can hide !!

Yup, sad surprises hiding underneath all too often. Curious how she will drive and handle once finished!

Me too. I havent driven an E21 for 30 years ! My wife had a year old 323 back then, which is how I got into BMWs

hello.can you tell me if the m42 engine it's fix perfect on the e21 engine suport or you have to modify the engine suports? i ask you because i want to put an m43 engine and i want to know what i have to do.

healeyneil · Post by **healeyneil** » Tue Oct 15, 2013 11:54 pm

Not really. Firstly, my subframe was for a 6 cylinder, my M42 engine came from an E36 coupe and the "arms" were too wide for the E21, so I had to get ones from an E30. When the engine was in the right place, I had to fabricate new supports for the rubber mounts ( which were original E21) The gearbox support came from an E30 325i ( I believe) which only required very minor adjustment to fit. The good news was that the E36 propshaft fitted perfectly, only needing a new centre bearing support to be welded in
